Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is, on the one hand, to identify the democratic innovations appearing in the election programs of Hungarian parties, and, on the other hand, to analyze the extent to which the manifestos of each party deal with them. The document analysis carried out in the framework of the research „Democratic Innovations and Hungarian Parties” examined the extent to which Hungarian parties address democratic innovations in their electoral programs within the period of 2006-2018. Based on the results, the promises related to democratic innovations make up about two percent of the text of the manifestos of Hungarian parties. Democratic innovations to reform the institutions of representative democracy and direct democracy predominate in the programs examined.
